Abstract: In this paper, eleven alien plant species are presented, two of them are reported for the fi rst time in the Republic of Moldova (Euphorbia maculata, Gaillardia pulchella), one of them has so far been reported only from a botanical garden (Oenothera glazioviana), and eight species were previously known from a few localities in Moldova (Amaranthus powelii, Centaurea diff usa, Grinde- lia squarrosa, Gypsophila perfoliata, Ruta graveolens, Silphium perfoliatum, Sorghum halepense and Tragus racemosus). We a lso present an indigenous species which behaves as invasive (Rumex thyrsi- fl orus). We c ollected plants primarily on roadsides, along railway lines and in settlements, less oft en in natural habitats. Our goal is to report scattered data here. Voucher specimens were deposited in the Hung arian Natural History Museum, Botanical Department, Herbarium Generale (BP). Key words: alien plants, invasive species, railway lines, road margins, synanthropic fl ora, urban fl ora INTRODUCTION Some alien species may become invasive, threatening natural and agricul- tural ecosystems, causing damages to the economy and human health (McNeely 2001, Wittenberg & Cock 2001, Csiszár & Korda 2015). -

8/30/12 Bessarabia Business Directory of 1924 This Database
8/30/12 Bessarabia Business Directory of 1924 This database contains records of grocers, teachers, local officials, stone carvers, butchers, bakers, innkeepers, lawyers, peddlers, rabbis, and many others who worked in the early 1920s in Romania's eastern counties, formerly in Bessarabia, and who apparently were Jewish. The information was published in the "Socec" Annuary of the Great-Roumania, dated 1924-1925, by the prominent Romanian publishing house Socec & Co. The Library of Congress calls the two- volume set a historic address book that "stands as the most complete survey of Greater Romania during the interwar period." http://www.loc.gov/rr/european/phonero/romfondr.html We extracted "Jewish-sounding" names listed for cities, towns, villages and hamlets in the nine counties that formed the Bessarabia region of pre-World War I Imperial Russia.

GENDER DIFFERENCES ON SUB-NATIONAL LEVEL IN MOLDOVA Nina Chesnokova National Statistical Bureau March 2014, Geneva Need for comparative gender analysis at subnational level Law on Regional Development setting out main regional development objectives, principles, frameworks and planning instruments Government Programme "European Integration: Freedom, Democracy, Prosperity" Moldavian National Demographic Security Strategy Gender Disparities in Politics Results of latest local elections: Gender disparities at registration phase: 4,204 candidates to Mayors and Vice Mayors, including 843 females (20%) were registered and only one in four female candidate was elected. The largest representation of female candidates was in the local administration of the Southern Zone - 25%, and in Cimislia District of the zone it was 42%. However, only 7 out of 53 female candidates were elected in the region. Female candidates are mostly successful in elections of District, Rural and Municipal Councillors: up to 40% were elected in some regions. However, in some administrative areas there are less than 20% of female councillors. Only 3 women were elected District Chairpersons - one in each of three regions: North, Centre and South, which is only 8.8% of total number of Chairpersons. Population Size and Structure About 30% of the population live both in the Northern and Central Zones, over 15% live in the Southern Zone and the population of Gagauzia is about 5% of the total population of the country. Residents of Chișinău Municipality comprise about a fifth of the total population of the country. Steady depopulation trends prevail in three regions: Centre, South and especially North. 51.9% of the total population are women and 48.1% are men. -

Most Fulbrighters have been appreciated by Moldovans, and most Fulbrighters have appreciated and enjoyed their stay in Moldova. Of course, each Fulbrighter experiences Moldova differently. The reasons for this vary. Location is one reason. Living in Chisinau is different than living in a smaller city. This Guide cannot take into account all of the variables or even most of them. It does not try to. Instead, it more modestly offers basic, broadly applicable information and suggestions. We hope this information and these suggestions help you. If the information you are seeking is not here, note your question on a margin of this Guide and ask it at the Pre- Departure Orientation. By giving you this Guide in advance of the PDO, we hope to make the PDO as effective and efficient as possible. -
Total Runoff of Surface Waters in New Climatic Conditions on the Republic of Moldova’S Territory
DOI 10.2478/pesd-2018-0007 PESD, VOL. 12, no. 1, 2018 TOTAL RUNOFF OF SURFACE WATERS IN NEW CLIMATIC CONDITIONS ON THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA’S TERRITORY Duca Gheorghe1, Nedealcov Maria1, Ivanov Violeta Key words: Water resources, climatic changes, hydrographical basin, intensity and frequency climatic parameters. Abstract. Although it is considered that the socio-economic impact over the last decades on surface water quality is significant, the role of changing regional climate that is manifested by the intensification of desertification process is crucial. In this context, it is important to know the current trends of change in total runoff of surface of surface waters in the context of increase of desertification degree of the regional climate attested in recent years. Introduction Water resources and their quality are in continuous decrease, and these aspects constitute a severe constraining factor for both our country and on the international level, especially if we take into account the increase of aridity due to global warming, forecasted by certain scenarios and climatic models (Albu, 2009, Nedealcov, 2012, Anuar, 2015, 2016, Bejan et al, 2017). These scenarios estimate that droughts would persist in the regions with critical climate in Europe, especially in Southern Europe, as well as in Northern America, and the above-mentioned regions would suffer from severe droughts, heat spells, water deficiency and decrease in agricultural production. Another scenarios evaluate the impact of global climatic changes in Republic of Moldova, demonstrating that the drought would be more pronounced during the vegetation period in southern and south-eastern part of the country (Nedealcov, 2012), which does not come into contradiction with the estimations conducted for the southern regions in Europe (Marinov, 1964, Madjar et al, 1995). -

The purpose of this research consists in the elucidation of regional and branch aspects of the water use in the Republic of Moldova. The main topics presented in this paper are: 1) the regional delimitations of the Republic of Moldova; 2) resources of surface water and groundwater: 3) regional aspects of water use; 4) dynamics of water use by abstracted sources and by the main usage categories; 5) branch profile of water use and its dynamics: 6) existing problems in the evaluation and monitoring of water use. Keywords: water use, region, technological, agriculture, household. 1. Introduction According to the economic-geographic criterion, the Republic of Moldova (RM) is divided into 4 distinct regions: Northern, Central, Southern and Eastern (figure 1). The North Region (NR) overlaps with the North Development Region, established by the RM Law on Regional Development (Legea nr. 438/2006) and comprises 11 districts from the northern part of the Republic of Moldova, as well as the Balti municipality. The total area of North Region is 10 thousand km2, which represents more than 30% of the total area of the Republic (table 1). The population of this region is 987 thousand inhabitants (25%), including 150 thousand inhabitants - in the Balti city. The largest part of NR is located within the Raut river (the main right tributary of the Dniester River) basin, including the districts of Donduseni, Soroca, Drochia, Floresti, Singerei, as well as Balti municipality. -
